Cats have really good distance vision, okay night vision (it's comparable to humans, really), and TERRIBLE close-up vision. They compensate with all them whiskers on their cheeks and lips; the whiskers, in addition to their Flehming organs in their mouths/noses, help them to find food close to their faces, but it only works so well, unless the food isn't smelly or is small.

This also explains why they freak out like they're starving when there's a little bit of food in their dish, or if they can see the bottom of the dish at all. They simply can't see the food :).

One of my cats loves to drink from the sink but when he gets his head under the tap, he can't find the water without sticking his head under it several times. I think it's because he can't quite see the stream when he's close to it.

Every time I read a new comic, I literally say sayb"I'm so glad it isn't just me!"My cats like the food on different levels, ie: Zane on the back of the couch, Nowa you must dangle it above his fat little head!
